  • Lidarr, and YouTube Music with last.fm scrobbling.

    Lidarr monitors my last.fm scrobbles and automatically downloads anything I’ve listened to enough.

    I also manually add stuff to lidarr that I’ve heard on radio stations like 4ZZZ, or as soundtracks to movies and TV shows I’m watching.

    Currently at 2.8TB on my music library.

    I’m pulling from torrent sites as the preference, with Usenet backup. FLAC quality, and CD source. I’ve also ripped all my CDs, and updated Musicbrainz for stuff that didn’t already exist there so it works nicely with lidarr.

    Tried using Soulseek but it’s laughably bad. Wrong tags, gatekeepers who have ludicrous restrictions on their libraries, and most music is just (poorly) downloaded from streaming services anyway.

    I use Plexamp for listening, or YouTube Music. Mostly I’m just downloading it because I know at some point in the future I’m going to crack the sads with paying the price YouTube Music charges. Seems to go up every month. When I get rid of it I want a decent library ready to go, and a nice listening history so the the recommendations aren’t total shite.







  • I used to reread Wheel of Time frequently. I’ve probably completed the series more than 13 times, because I started reading it in the mid 90s and would reread from the beginning every time a new book was released.

    After that Amazon slop, I haven’t touched the series since. It was so, so bad. And it had the potential to be so, so good. All the material was right there. All the money was there.

    Such a wasted opportunity to have made something amazing.

    As a pallet cleanser, here’s a fan made version made 10 years ago that is so much more authentic and watchable than Rafe’s disaster:

    Should have just given them the millions.




  • Text.

    Video requires too much time dedicated to consume it. If I’m looking for a specific explanation or review or walkthrough that suits a visual medium then I’ll go look for a video.

    But even then, for most things a text description with photos to illustrate finer details of often better anyway.

    If I’m doom scrolling there is no chance I’m clicking on random videos. My volume is turned down permanently and I ain’t turning it up just to hear it start off with “hey what’s up guys it’s some dickhead here from some shitty channel where I like to make videos about something no one cares about or is already a saturated market, anyway click on the subscribe button and them we’ll go ahead and listen to a promo from a crappy mobile game who’s sponsoring this video! And then I’ll go ahead and tell you where to buy this item I’m holding that’s tangically related, and then I’ll go ahead and…”

    Just obnoxious.

    I deleted my Reddit history (but not my account) and every so often I get a message from someone asking what my reply was to a comment that helped a lot of people.

    Ask an LLM m8. That’s where the answer ended up for cash. I lost my RIF Golden Platinum, but some dickhead got to make a few cents out of my efforts.
